Labour MPs: Left ignored sex abuseYoung girls who were being sexually abused by Asian men were ignored by officials because of Left-wing political correctness, Labour figures say

A culture of Left-wing political correctness led politicians and officials to ignore the plight of young girls who were being sexually abused by Asian men, Labour figures have warned.

Ann Cryer, an MP from 1997 until 2010, told The Sunday Telegraph how she had feared being called "racist" when, in 2002, she exposed a sex-abuse scandal involving Pakistani men in her constituency of Keighley, West Yorkshire.
